I need to learn how to relax. I don’t currently play computer games. I’m thinking of taking the plunge on a steam deck. WDYT? The LCD models have refurbished stock in the UK at the moment, but I’m thinking the OLED model may be better for me. Or perhaps they’re both a waste of money!
@ttyS1 thanks. I actually already have a switch that I don’t play! My kids do though. Perhaps I should try out some of my switch backlog before I commit any more money
@elmiko I've got Steam on my work machine(s) but I think I might benefit from a mobile machine. 16" MBP on my laptop on sofa a little cumbersome :)
or maybe my hobby/leisure time could be hacking, again. Perhaps I should go down the management route at work so there's less overlap there. I could get back to being useful in Debian!
or I could do something with this synthesizer I bought last Winter, gathering dust in front of me as a type. I might need to situate it somewhere away from my work desk/connotations
@fred I am in a bit of a funny place… what with the current work chaos and being at the final crunch point for my thesis. But in less than two weeks I'll be full-time again, for the first time in 8 years! Imagine the things I could, er, contain!!
@gregoa_ tbh I'm still keen. Just not sure what my niche should be. I want to avoid doing something too package-centric. DPL time always depresses me, as most platforms (not picking on anyone in particular) are still very package-centric. IMHO our biggest problems are much more structural, social, high level…
@metacosm oh that's cool. The smaller one, the microfreak, was on my shortlist (https://jmtd.net/log/synths/microfreak/) — I might still pick it up one day, as it can be used portably with a powerbank
@metacosm I should add that I was off sick for a long time last year, and my team-mates clubbed together and got me a voucher which paid for the Korg Minilogue XD. My team is awesome. IBM are lucky to be getting us.
